Watch The Blizzcon Opening Ceremony Here

With World of Warcraft: Classic on the horizon, suspected Diablo news, word of a new Netflix series and the futures of Starcraft, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm and a new Overwatch hero, there's plenty to see in the opening Blizzcon ceremony.

It's all set to kick off around 0500 AEST / 0700 NZST / 0400 AQST / 0430 ACST / 0200 AWST, and as is customary you'll be able to watch the whole opening below through Twitch.

We'll keep you posted with all of the main announcements throughout the weekend. Fingers crossed some of those classic games show up again - I'd love to run through Diablo 1 again, but a new Diablo would be nice too.

In the wake of community and political pressure following the livestreaming of the horrific terrorist attacks at Christchurch on Friday, Australian ISPs have started blocking some sites used to rehost footage of the livestream, including the infamous 8chan image board.
